Notre Dame stopped their three-game skid with a 24-17 win over Cal on Saturday, the first win of the year and the first victory of the Marcus Freeman era. He improves to 1-3 all-time as a head coach and Notre Dame improves to 5-0 all-time against Cal.
It wasn’t the prettiest of things but it was enough to land the Irish in the win column. Drew Pyne overcame a slow start to be effective enough for Notre Dame win while the offensive and defensive lines both made life difficult in the second half for their Pac-12 opponent.
